yWriter is great for people Starting out

I like to recommend yWriter a lot. Not because it's better than something like Scriver or anything. I'm not claiming that. It's a very serviceable program and highly accessible, especially to writers with limited funds.

Yeah, I used to use it back when I wanted to see if I'd stick with this 'writing' thing, or just buy a boat. Currently looking at boats.

Do the two have to be mutually exclusive? Being on the water can be highly inspirational...

Hadn't heard of it, but will investigate. I am currently mourning the loss of Word on my "new" laptop (turns out that my licence was a fixed number of installs, so removing it from the old laptop still won't allow me to register it, and I am not paying a subscription for the rest of my life for upgrades I don't want), and I am not really gelling with Libre office "Writer". The functionality is there, but I struggle to find it with --to me-- a non-intuitive interface.
